All-School Council
Officers for the year were elected
by the Student Council at its first
meeting of the season, held last
Tuesday evening. To make the
staff as representative as possible
it was decided that only one offi-cer
could be selected from each
department.
Ted Roos, of the Seminary, was
elected president. Editor of lass
year's NEWS. member of the cha-pel
choir, glee clubs and North
Park quartette, Ted's wide experi-ence
fits him well for the job.
Don Benson, well known campus
figure, from the College depart-ment,
is vice-president.
Ted Roos
Sigrid Johnson of the Bible Ir
stitute was elected secretary; and
Philip Gustafson of the School of
Music, treasurer.
The council has been late in get-ting
started, since the members
have had difficulty in finding a
common free hour. The possibility
of evening meetings has been dis-cussed
and will possibly be put into
effect.

Activity
Emphasis Services
Well Attended
The story of North Park life is a
current account of group activity
and the constant, busy program of
the individual.
Last week was Christian Empha-sis
Week on the campus, a group
activity, the fruits of which are
Rev. Donald Frisk
now seen in the individual thought
and religious experience it inspired.
The Religious Council instigated
the series of services, conducted by
the Rev. Donald Frisk of the Cove-nant
church in Princeton, Illinois.
The pertinent theme for the
week was, "Toward Christian Per-sonality."
The thought progressed
through the following specific sub-jects
on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday evenings, re-spectively
"The Ideal Personality;"
"The Indispensable Factor;" "The
Enemies of Personality;" and "The
Dedication of Personality." An ex-tra
chapel service was held on
Thursday, and Mr. Frisk had
charge of the meditations during
the entire week's chapel program,
also holding private consultations
with students.
The speaker evidenced his cap-ability
in religious instruction and
inspiration as he guided the
thought of his audience from time
to time. Mr. Frisk has an M.A. de-gree
from the University of Minne-sota;
was graduated from the local
Theological Seminary; pursued fur-ther
studies in the Union Theologi-cal
Seminary, New York; and spent
one year at our sister school in
Sweden, the Covenant college at
Lidingo, Stockholm.
Special music was furnished dur-ing
the week by student soloists
and student chorus groups. The
latter were conducted by Fellow-ship
song leader. Don Benson, all
around musical assistant in North
Park informal programs.

E. Clifford Toren Ebba Sundstrom
School Missionary
Back from Far East
A little lady of rich experience
and much simplicity, and a clear,
confident eye, greeted the North
Park reception committee on the
platform of the LaSalle Street Sta-tion,
last Friday morning.
It was Miss Hilma Johnson, vete-ran
missionary, home after sixteen
consecutive years of work in China
without a furlough.
As Miss Johnson stepped of f the
train at the station, she undoubt-edly
thought of the day forty years
ago when she left Chicago the first
time to go to the Orient. She was
then fresh from North Park Col-lege.
And during these forty years
the students of her Alma Mater
Miss Hama Johnson
have supported her. She has been
North Park's extension into China.
Representatives from the college
administration, the Religious Coun-cil,
and the Missionary Volunteers
were on hand to bid her welcome,
along with Covenant officials, oth-er
missionaries on furlough, and
family friends.
Small of stature and slight of
build, she was dressed in simple
black, befitting a 68 year old saint
and servant who has lived the
philosophy that outward appear-ance
is only secondary and the real
person is beneath. She carried
three durable, travel-worn bags of

TUESDAY EVENINGS TO
PRESENT CONCERT BY
FACULTY NOTABLES
We're off to a great start! After
the hearty response accorded the
first in this year's Tuesday Even-series
at North Park, we anticipate
eight more such successful events.
On October 28, the second of our
program will be held. This will
feature the annual faculty concert,
an event which no one will want
to miss. Such distinguished soloists
as Howard Silberer—pianist, Ebba
Sundstrom—violinist, and E. Clif-ford
Toren—baritone will appear
during the course of the evening.
The three musicians on this year's
concert program need no build-up
to assure them of an appreciative
audience.
Mr. Silberer has been guaranteed
an enthusiastic reception here by
his brilliant handling of the "Em-peror"
Concerto with the Illionois
Symphony some time ago as well
as by his equally successful appear-ances
in faculty concerts. He has
been honestly praised for his flaw-less
and judicious technique as well
as for the fluency and power of his
music.
Ebba Sundstrom acquired an en -
viable musical reputation as di-rector
and soloist with the Wom-en's
Symphony Orchestra of Chica-go.
She will be welcomed as violin
soloist on this program for her
singular performance and for the
richness of imagination discover-able
in her playing.
Dean Toren's resonant and dra-matic
baritone has pleased North
Park music lovers for over a de-cade.
Again we shall expect vir-ility,
drama, and power combined
with fine discrimination and dis-cipline.
The program scheduled for No-vember
4 is "Life Among the Alas-kan
Eskimos." This is also an event
to look forward to. Elder C. An-derson,
who will show motion pic-tures
with sound accompaniment,
was a missionary to Alaska. The
program promises to be an inter-esting
one and all will want to be
on hand.
ALUMNI!
Homecoming is in the air. The
Alumni away from the campus
anticipate it; the students at
school prepare for it.
The week-end program includes
the bonfire and campus frolic on
Friday night: the football game
Saturday afternoon; and the
Alumni and student party Satur-day
night. At the latter, the chief
entertainer will be the inimicable
Wallace Bruce Amsbary.
The Student Council in a deter-mined
and enthusiastic meeting
Monday evening, distributed the
homecoming activities to the vari-ous
clubs on the campus. The
Academy, glorying in its success
with the pep meeting last home-coming,
applied for the job of de-corating
Old Main, preparing the
bonfire, parade, and pep rally.
Since the Academy is one of the
liveliest elements in school, this
promises to be a success. The newly
organized freshman class was as-signed
the task of decorating the
W. B. Amsbury
gym, while the WAA will take care
of Wilson Hall.
The dormitories will be decorated
by the resident students who are
really out to get the prize this year.
Likewise the music students look
to the trophy with that gleam in
their eyes, as they set about beau-tifying
the Music School
This year a determined effort
will be made by Don Benson to
acquaint N. P. students with the
loyalty and pep songs.
"WILL BE A RIOT,"
SAY FROSH-SOPH
PARTY PLANNERS
Sophomores! Freshmen! Friday
night, October 24 is a red letter

a student committee and though
the program is a secret, 'tis ru-mored
'twill be a novel, all-student
card. Delicious refreshments will be

a success if—everyone comes. We'll

is the thought running through the mind of the entire alumni
body these days. Friday and Saturday. October 31 and November 1.
are the Homecoming celebration days for 1941.
Welcome the "Alums"
seems to be the phrase occupying the thoughts of the student body.
Our Student Council has laid elaborate celebration plans. The campus
buildings will be decked out in their finest.

this issue of the NEWS to the alumni of N. P. C. and to the
Homecoming celebration. We hope and pray that the gods of success
and victory will smile graciously upon our Homecoming of '41.
DORM SCENES
Another week and another dead-line
past and the column is Just
being started. Pursuing our run of
dorm talk, the following facts have
somehow come to appear on our
docket:
First of all there's Jim "Mus-tachio"
Broman. Yes girls, it's
true! Jim has or had a mustache.
What we wonder is: How will he
look in a football helmet with a
cookie duster to set it off?
We also wonder how Phil Fredeen,
Ruth Olson and Janet Johnson look
astride horses. It seems that the
only thing that will get these
equestriennes from their pallets be-fore
breakfast is the neigh of their
spirited mounts. Hereafter when
these girls speak of Tornado, also
known as the prince of ice wagon
fame; Spitfire, who might be more
easily recognized by his alias: Just
Plugging; or Our Boots, formerly
owned by the City sewage disposal
department and called Our Ga-loshes;
they speak only of their
horses.
Oh yes, and the Seminarians are
at it again with Henry Johanson
starting the fireworks in the merry
carnival of matrimony. Happy en-gagement,
Henry. And the same to
the rest of you, Sems. We know
you'll come through.
Speaking of coming through, did
you notice those action shots of
Fern Johnson and Jane Lundgren
coming through the window of the
Foster Avenue Camera Shop. Fem
was acting especially nuts at that
moment. She was a scream. May-be
we could get the camera shop
to loan us the film for some future
dorm party!
That's all except for the fifty dol-lar
question. The Men's Dorm
sent this sticker in. Here it is:
When will the North Park Men's
Haberdashery and Clothing Em-porium
open for business?

in the uneaten half of his breakfast roll but part of an unmistakably

CHIPS OFF THE BLOCK WELCOME
"WITH PARK ALurANI
Not many of us may have noticed
it, but last week the western hemi-sphere
was host to a revolution.
On Thursday, October 9, the gov-ernment
of Panama was over-thrown
and President Arias was
forced to flee for his life. Generally
one should suppose that any
change or threatened change in
the political status of the western
hemisphere would cause our gov-ernment
to take swift action (wit-ness
Washington's reaction to the
recent border clashes between
Peru and Ecuador), but in the case
of the Panama revolt, our state de-partment
leaned back smugly and
did nothing. This failure to act
might imply that our government
simply is not interested in Pana-ma's
affairs.
On the contrary, to say that the
United States actually is interested
In Panama would be an under-statement.
Our relations with that
southern neighbor date from the
turn of the century when our gov-ernment
was "dickering" with Co-lombia
for the right to build the
Panama canal. In 1303 the Colom-bian
government refused to ratify
an agreement providing for the
sale of Panama to the United
States. Promptly American agita-tors
stirred up dissatisfaction
among the inhabitants of Panama,
and with the express promise of
American aid, the Panamanians
revolted. The American navy pro-tected
the insurgents from the Co-lombian
military forces, and pre-vented
the Colombian navy from
effecting a landing. Thus the revo-lution
was speedily concluded and
the United States was able to ac-quire
the canal zone from the new-ly
created "independent" state of
Panama. Evidently the United
States has been quite interested in
the Republic of Panama.
Because of American interfer-ence,
Panama has not had an in-dependent
foreign policy since its

The Soul of An Institution
Thi: ideals of our institution have been officially stated as follows:
"North Park College maintains the principle that there can be no
true education apart from the Christian philosophy of life.
"The college comes to its educational task with a definitely relig-ious
perspective. The preservation of social, moral, and religious
values and their adjustment to the ever-changing pattern of a progres-sive
social order are objectives of its program. It seeks standards for the
development of desirable character in its students.
"In its specific task as an institution essentially on the level of
secondary education, the school interprets its function as mainly that of
teaching. Its accepted aim is to develop in the student a love for thor-oughness
in scholarship and an eager and critical welcome for truth
wherever discovered.
"It is the ideal of the college to foster high principles of student life
and conduct by trying to awaken in the students themselves a sense of
responsibility."
The opinion of the NEA's is that students who seek thoroughly to
identify themselves with these ideals are the ones who will derive the
most benefit from their years at North Park.

Here are more timely tips brought
to you by your faithful correspond-ents.
It's being whispered around
the campus that . . .
Our favorite student, Ernest
Lidge, is the main factor in the
present love life of Betty Larsen.
Johnny Davidson finds his "fac-tor,"
ir cute Lois Piske.
Newest romance, right from our
ticker, concerns La Verne Rund-
Quist and Gordon Youngquist.
Our young sophomore group had
a fling last week, by having a hay
rack party. Seems as tho' Cherie
Martin, Pauline Hurckes and Dor-othy
May serenaded the group all
the way to and from home.
Fred Golan is going around
dreamy eyed about Dot May.
Blond Irvin Price is yet pacified
by the admiration of Eileen Smith.
Bonnie Collins finds great inter-est
in Bruce Mills.
In our last issue we said that
Don Storgaard had a secret pas-sion.
There is now a broken heart-ed
freshie who is yearning to know
who it could be. Couldn't anyone
enlighten us on the subject?
Our glamour girls of N. P. were in
reality not so glamourous. At least
Tri-Hi-Y initiation proved them so.
However girls, this one thought
may console you. When H. G. Lea -
son was asked what he thought of
them, he said. "They're neat!"
Ruth Thompson and Phyllis Noel-le
are still going steady with
"Smitty" and Ray respectively.
The Tribune Tower proved very
interesting for Rowena Hockey and

the junior girls is Herb Gefvert.
Ginny Hilfer is still among the

their prince charmings. Aren't
dreams wonderful?
Wade Olsen still forsakes the
North Park girls for his fair lady in
Norwood Park.
Congratulations are in order to
Betty Roedel and Janet Christie
as they celebrated their birthdays.
Speaking of Betty Roedel that re-minds
us of Bob Dohroth. Need
more be said?
Lois Johnson and Gordon Pohl
have been very friendly lately.
Everyone was right glad to see
the many old North Parkers that
came back to school last week.
Among our visitors were Clarie Ro-binson.
Pat Dolan, Grace Stewart,
and June Peterson.

Noon Hour Plan
Provides Sport
For Academy
Under the direction of Mr. Les
Harman. the 12:10 lunch period is
offering recreational activities to
the students. Weather permitting,
outdoor games, including football
and baseball, are played. Motion
pictures are shown in the Chapel.
Students who care for educational
or travel films, enjoy these. The
best moving pictures obtainable are
secured from rental bureaus such
as the Y. M. C. A., Bell and Howell,
and other organizations.
As everyone knows autumn is
here, and with it, the spirit of foot-ball.
Those who aren't aware of
the fact, should come around to the
east side of the gym and watch the
future "Tom Harmons" of the
football world. Even members of
the fair sex are seen kicking the
pigskin around.
Those who like ice-skating, will
be interested to know that it may
be possible to have the field on the
east side of the gym flooded this
winter. Any further suggestions
from the students will be welcomed
by Mr. Harman.
Mr. Oscar E. Olson has offered
the use of a room in the Music Con-servatory
for any students who are
Interested in short concerts during
the lunch hour.
SENIORS AND JUNIORS
ARRANGE LUNCHTIME
BY SPLITTING PERIOD
New arrangements have been
made for the 12:10 lunch period as
follows: All underclassmen. Fresh-men,
Sophomores, and Juniors, are
to eat from 12:10 to 12:35. Then
the lunchroom is to be turned over
to the Seniors.
The lunchroom has resembled a
sort of "mad -house," and it is
hoped that these new arrangements
will eliminate many difficulties.
A little fuss has been made over
these plans. The reason is that
Senior "tummies" can't take it. So
—they have disregarded orders
somewhat.
Aha! A "catch" is on its way. If
the Seniors don't co-operate, they'll
find a brief study period, 12:10 to
12:35, added to their curriculum
and marked "compulsory."
The NEWS is sure that all will
adhere to the new ruling, because
if there's anything that appeals to
a person—it's definitely NOT a
compulsory study!
Note to the underclassmen!! As
long as the last period is reserved
for Seniors—hurry along and get
out of the lunchroom then. The
Seniors are shut out from your
lunch period, and turnabout is only
FAIR PLAY!
Society Awards Pins;
Dean Moberg Speaks
The National Honor Society mem-bers
were awarded their member-ship
pins in the Student Council
Assembly last Monday.
Mr. Walter J. Moberg, Dean of
the Academy and College, gave a
charge to the eighteen honor stu-dents.
Ruth Thompson responded
for the members. Doris Burgh, stu-dent
chairman, and Lois Piske,
gave the audience a summary of
the Society's activities. Mr. Clif-ford
G. Ericson presented the
awards.
Femmes Frolics
The squad leaders held a meeting
at which Miss Olander gave in-structions
in the taking of attend-ance.
It was suggested that three
squad leaders get together with six
other girls and form a team. If
you have any desire to be on a
team, report to the gym next
Thursday at four o'clock.
We are happy to announce that
the bowling classes were a great
success. There was a grand turn-out
and the students seemed great-ly
interested. We hope this enthus-iasm
will continue so that some day
it may be possible to have bowling
tournaments for all who have par-ticipated.
The life-saving cla.sses are in full
swing and at five o'clock North
Park's glamour girls may be seen
emerging from the pool dripping
and drooping from two hours of
side stroking, crawling, and breast
stroking. (Maybe we should men-tion
dog-paddling?)
A new set of archery equipment
arrived last Monday. The girls are
preparing to compete with Robin
Hood.
The G. A. A. meeting on Mon-day.
October 20, was a great suc-cess.
Results will be announced
later.
ODE TO THE PHYSICS LAB
I slink into the Physics lab,
And sit down in my seat,
And slide away down and hide my
face
And gaze upon my feet.
The teacher asks a question,
But I never say a word
To think that I should know it ...
The idea's most absurd!
And at the rate I'm going
My brain will give out soon.
Insane asylums don't teach Phy
sics,
Surely that's a boon!
The day that you take Physics,
Is a day that you will rue.
But you'll find out too late be-cause
Then you'll be crazy too.

he does put some in once in a

Mothers Enjoy Tea:
Program Pleases
The Tea for Academy mothers
was held last Thursday from three
to five in the afternoon. The
Academy choir, led by Mr. Oscar
Olson, sang four selections, "God
Is My Shepherd." "Teach Me to
Pray, Oh Lord," "Morning," and
"Bless This Home." Dr. Eldon
Strandine introduced President Al-goth
Olson and Professor Peter
Person who welcomed the mothers
to the tea and asked them to co-operate
with the faculty in the pro-gram
for the coming year. After
the formalities, the students pre-sented
their mothers to the faculty
and partook of the refreshments.
Now that the Cupola salesmen
have been appointed, Chapel seats
assigned, and the freshmen are rid
of that blank look, we can really
feel that life at N. P is getting in
the groove—or is it a rut?

A History of North

"A History of North Park Col-lege"
by Leland H. Carlson ha;
recently been placed on th
bookstands. The author ha,
woven into the book a detailed
story of the interesting develop-ment
of the Covenant school.
North Park College. Naturally,
the school's history reflects the
greater story of the denomina-tion
which sponsors it, since all
of the leaders of the Covenant
have more or less influenced it;
educational work. The book is,
therefore, a history of both the
Mission Covenant and North
Park College. Every alumnus,
and former or present student
of North Park College should
have a copy. The price is $2.00.

Halverson, Bodin,
To Head Freshmen
Amidst a rather wild turmoil of
excitement, the Freshmen of North
Park College held their first class
meeting of the year last Monday.
Th occasion was the election of
class officers. The election was pur-posely
put off until the sixth week
of school so that all the new fresh-men
would have time to get ac-quainted.
Even so, when the time
came, the class decided to stand by
a well known campus figure of last
year's Academy graduating class.
They gave strong vent to their
feelings by voting in the ever popu-lar
Kenny Halverson as president
by a landslide. However in the race
for vice-presidency, the fight was
much closer. In the end Bud Bodin,
who hails from Rockford. emerged
the smiling victor. As yet there has
been no election of secretary or
treasurer.

VIKINGS VICTORIOUS OVER L. P. On
Touchdown Pass Spells 6-0
Blue-Gold Defeat at Wilson
tlefttre a small crowd on a rainy,
dark day, the North Park Vikings
were halted in their '41 victory
march by a powerful Wilson eleven,
6-0. The Wilson line outweighed the
North Park forward wall by nearly
2'. pounds, and so adopted a wear-ing-
down strategy, biding their
time until the right opportunity
presented itself, and then striking.
But even after giving away so much
poundage. the Norsemen threat-ened
constantly to score with their
driving ground game.
The 'Parkers took the kickoff to
their own 35, on a dazzling return
by Bobby Watts. Watts drove for
three. Stromberg for five, after
which Benziger out through an
off-tackle slant to the Crimson 31
yard line. Capt. Stromberg again
pounded. this time for six. Watts
hit for another first down, which
Stromberg backed with a plunge to
the thirteen. But this was as far
as they could travel, for on the
next play. Paul Lindwall was
thrown back to the 27, when a
desperate Wilson line pushed
through to nail him before he could
pass the oval. A looping toss by
Stromberg was intercepted to end
the threat. From there an ex-change
of punts placed the ball in
Blue and Gold hands on their own
47. In four more plays the pigskin
rested on the Wilson 20. placed
there by the Watts, Stromberg,
Benziger combination. But a fum-ble
halted them as the quarter
wound up. Up to this point the
North Park squad had shown a
definite superiority, both in rush-ing,
and in defensive work.
Another exchange of punts
opened the second period, Wilson
having a trifle of the advantage
there. Lindwall intercepted a bul-let-
like toss on his own 31, to put a
temporary end to any Crimson
scoring ideas. But the boys were
stubborn, and soon the South Si-ders
were on the march again.
Razzle-dazzle football, combining
passes and spinner plays. soon
found them knocking at the goal
line door, with a first down to
crash the gates. Four plays later
they were on the defensive as the
stubborn North Park squad kicked
out safely to the 45 stripe. A Wil-son
pass completed to the 37. and
finally a long toss which had six
points written all over it, spelled
defeat for the Norsemen as it sailed
over the safetyman's head, and in-to

The only reason that more weren't

So it becomes safe to as-sume

However, the blackness could be

their salvation.
The Vikings have proved, even in
defeat, that they are a team, a
good team. With half of their

take the conference title. So don't
lose any sleep over the matter, they
will take care of themselves.

The Vikings have at last avenged
themselves for the defeat handed
them last year by LaSalle-Peru!
Outrunning, outpassing, and out-fighting
the downstate boys, the
'Parkers rolled to a 13-0 victory
over a squad which presented little
opposition to the Blue and Gold.
Connie Pappas' sterling center play
featured the attack. Incidentally,
he's the boy that set up both North
Park scores with intercepted passes.
The North Park kickoff was re-turned
to the L. P. 29 yard line
where the downstaters put it into
play. One first down was all they
could muster, and a tremendous
punt set the 'Parkers back on their
heels. Paul Lindwall saved the day
with a dazzling thirty yard return.
but was nailed on the N. P. 40. The
typical first quarter action was a
see-saw battle, fought almost en-tirely
between the thirty yard
stripes, so no threats developed.
First Score
The Norsemen continued their
tradition of the first quarter, stop-ping
the L. P. scoring attack, but
carrying on none of their own, un-til
midway in the second period.
At that point, they received a punt
on their own 47, and continued on
down to the opposition 26. There,
an offside penalty, and quite a bit
of bad luck, stopped them tempo-rarily.
Watts and Stromberg had
been carrying the brunt of the at-tack,
abetted by the usual good
work of Jim Broman, now fully
recovered from an injury sustained
the previous week.
LaSalle came back into the
third period with a grand rush, led

was then that Pappas took a hand.
After a series of punt exchanges,
L. P. was deep in their own terri-tory,
and in desperation, elected
to pass. Somehow Pappas got in
the way, grabbed the pigskin, and
loped to the L. P. 35 yard line be-fore
he was stopped. Watts and
Stromberg took turns in smashing
down to the four yard line, where
it was first down, and four to go,
A plunge by Broman, and the ball
rested on the one foot mark, from

Pappas Intercepts
The fourth period found Davito
again sparking the LaSalle squad
on in a last desperation march
After marching over fifty yards
another interception by Pappas
deep in Blue and Gold territory
halted the downstate team. This
time. Pappas flew down to the L. P.

'Parkers worked it down the field,

All-School Council
Officers for the year were elected
by the Student Council at its first
meeting of the season, held last
Tuesday evening. To make the
staff as representative as possible
it was decided that only one offi-cer
could be selected from each
department.
Ted Roos, of the Seminary, was
elected president. Editor of lass
year's NEWS. member of the cha-pel
choir, glee clubs and North
Park quartette, Ted's wide experi-ence
fits him well for the job.
Don Benson, well known campus
figure, from the College depart-ment,
is vice-president.
Ted Roos
Sigrid Johnson of the Bible Ir
stitute was elected secretary; and
Philip Gustafson of the School of
Music, treasurer.
The council has been late in get-ting
started, since the members
have had difficulty in finding a
common free hour. The possibility
of evening meetings has been dis-cussed
and will possibly be put into
effect.

Activity
Emphasis Services
Well Attended
The story of North Park life is a
current account of group activity
and the constant, busy program of
the individual.
Last week was Christian Empha-sis
Week on the campus, a group
activity, the fruits of which are
Rev. Donald Frisk
now seen in the individual thought
and religious experience it inspired.
The Religious Council instigated
the series of services, conducted by
the Rev. Donald Frisk of the Cove-nant
church in Princeton, Illinois.
The pertinent theme for the
week was, "Toward Christian Per-sonality."
The thought progressed
through the following specific sub-jects
on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday evenings, re-spectively
"The Ideal Personality;"
"The Indispensable Factor;" "The
Enemies of Personality;" and "The
Dedication of Personality." An ex-tra
chapel service was held on
Thursday, and Mr. Frisk had
charge of the meditations during
the entire week's chapel program,
also holding private consultations
with students.
The speaker evidenced his cap-ability
in religious instruction and
inspiration as he guided the
thought of his audience from time
to time. Mr. Frisk has an M.A. de-gree
from the University of Minne-sota;
was graduated from the local
Theological Seminary; pursued fur-ther
studies in the Union Theologi-cal
Seminary, New York; and spent
one year at our sister school in
Sweden, the Covenant college at
Lidingo, Stockholm.
Special music was furnished dur-ing
the week by student soloists
and student chorus groups. The
latter were conducted by Fellow-ship
song leader. Don Benson, all
around musical assistant in North
Park informal programs.

Back from Far East
A little lady of rich experience
and much simplicity, and a clear,
confident eye, greeted the North
Park reception committee on the
platform of the LaSalle Street Sta-tion,
last Friday morning.
It was Miss Hilma Johnson, vete-ran
missionary, home after sixteen
consecutive years of work in China
without a furlough.
As Miss Johnson stepped of f the
train at the station, she undoubt-edly
thought of the day forty years
ago when she left Chicago the first
time to go to the Orient. She was
then fresh from North Park Col-lege.
And during these forty years
the students of her Alma Mater
Miss Hama Johnson
have supported her. She has been
North Park's extension into China.
Representatives from the college
administration, the Religious Coun-cil,
and the Missionary Volunteers
were on hand to bid her welcome,
along with Covenant officials, oth-er
missionaries on furlough, and
family friends.
Small of stature and slight of
build, she was dressed in simple
black, befitting a 68 year old saint
and servant who has lived the
philosophy that outward appear-ance
is only secondary and the real
person is beneath. She carried
three durable, travel-worn bags of

TUESDAY EVENINGS TO
PRESENT CONCERT BY
FACULTY NOTABLES
We're off to a great start! After
the hearty response accorded the
first in this year's Tuesday Even-series
at North Park, we anticipate
eight more such successful events.
On October 28, the second of our
program will be held. This will
feature the annual faculty concert,
an event which no one will want
to miss. Such distinguished soloists
as Howard Silberer—pianist, Ebba
Sundstrom—violinist, and E. Clif-ford
Toren—baritone will appear
during the course of the evening.
The three musicians on this year's
concert program need no build-up
to assure them of an appreciative
audience.
Mr. Silberer has been guaranteed
an enthusiastic reception here by
his brilliant handling of the "Em-peror"
Concerto with the Illionois
Symphony some time ago as well
as by his equally successful appear-ances
in faculty concerts. He has
been honestly praised for his flaw-less
and judicious technique as well
as for the fluency and power of his
music.
Ebba Sundstrom acquired an en -
viable musical reputation as di-rector
and soloist with the Wom-en's
Symphony Orchestra of Chica-go.
She will be welcomed as violin
soloist on this program for her
singular performance and for the
richness of imagination discover-able
in her playing.
Dean Toren's resonant and dra-matic
baritone has pleased North
Park music lovers for over a de-cade.
Again we shall expect vir-ility,
drama, and power combined
with fine discrimination and dis-cipline.
The program scheduled for No-vember
4 is "Life Among the Alas-kan
Eskimos." This is also an event
to look forward to. Elder C. An-derson,
who will show motion pic-tures
with sound accompaniment,
was a missionary to Alaska. The
program promises to be an inter-esting
one and all will want to be
on hand.
ALUMNI!
Homecoming is in the air. The
Alumni away from the campus
anticipate it; the students at
school prepare for it.
The week-end program includes
the bonfire and campus frolic on
Friday night: the football game
Saturday afternoon; and the
Alumni and student party Satur-day
night. At the latter, the chief
entertainer will be the inimicable
Wallace Bruce Amsbary.
The Student Council in a deter-mined
and enthusiastic meeting
Monday evening, distributed the
homecoming activities to the vari-ous
clubs on the campus. The
Academy, glorying in its success
with the pep meeting last home-coming,
applied for the job of de-corating
Old Main, preparing the
bonfire, parade, and pep rally.
Since the Academy is one of the
liveliest elements in school, this
promises to be a success. The newly
organized freshman class was as-signed
the task of decorating the
W. B. Amsbury
gym, while the WAA will take care
of Wilson Hall.
The dormitories will be decorated
by the resident students who are
really out to get the prize this year.
Likewise the music students look
to the trophy with that gleam in
their eyes, as they set about beau-tifying
the Music School
This year a determined effort
will be made by Don Benson to
acquaint N. P. students with the
loyalty and pep songs.
"WILL BE A RIOT,"
SAY FROSH-SOPH
PARTY PLANNERS
Sophomores! Freshmen! Friday
night, October 24 is a red letter
day. You are invited to the annual
Sophomore-Freshman Party at 7:30
P.M. in the gym. Tickets are un-necessary
for North Park College
students and members of the
faculty.
Each year a party is given by the
Sophomores for the entire college
but particularly as a welcome to
the incoming frosh. This year the
entertainment is being planned by
a student committee and though
the program is a secret, 'tis ru-mored
'twill be a novel, all-student
card. Delicious refreshments will be
served if any further inducement
to attend is needed.
This year's party promises to be
a success if—everyone comes. We'll
have a lot of fun, meet people and
make many new friends. So be in
the gym at 7:30 P.M. on Friday
night for an evening of fun. "In
fact." and we quote the . in-01t
tee,' "it will be a riot."

DORM SCENES
Another week and another dead-line
past and the column is Just
being started. Pursuing our run of
dorm talk, the following facts have
somehow come to appear on our
docket:
First of all there's Jim "Mus-tachio"
Broman. Yes girls, it's
true! Jim has or had a mustache.
What we wonder is: How will he
look in a football helmet with a
cookie duster to set it off?
We also wonder how Phil Fredeen,
Ruth Olson and Janet Johnson look
astride horses. It seems that the
only thing that will get these
equestriennes from their pallets be-fore
breakfast is the neigh of their
spirited mounts. Hereafter when
these girls speak of Tornado, also
known as the prince of ice wagon
fame; Spitfire, who might be more
easily recognized by his alias: Just
Plugging; or Our Boots, formerly
owned by the City sewage disposal
department and called Our Ga-loshes;
they speak only of their
horses.
Oh yes, and the Seminarians are
at it again with Henry Johanson
starting the fireworks in the merry
carnival of matrimony. Happy en-gagement,
Henry. And the same to
the rest of you, Sems. We know
you'll come through.
Speaking of coming through, did
you notice those action shots of
Fern Johnson and Jane Lundgren
coming through the window of the
Foster Avenue Camera Shop. Fem
was acting especially nuts at that
moment. She was a scream. May-be
we could get the camera shop
to loan us the film for some future
dorm party!

question. The Men's Dorm

CHIPS OFF THE BLOCK WELCOME
"WITH PARK ALurANI
Not many of us may have noticed
it, but last week the western hemi-sphere
was host to a revolution.
On Thursday, October 9, the gov-ernment
of Panama was over-thrown
and President Arias was
forced to flee for his life. Generally
one should suppose that any
change or threatened change in
the political status of the western
hemisphere would cause our gov-ernment
to take swift action (wit-ness
Washington's reaction to the
recent border clashes between
Peru and Ecuador), but in the case
of the Panama revolt, our state de-partment
leaned back smugly and
did nothing. This failure to act
might imply that our government
simply is not interested in Pana-ma's
affairs.
On the contrary, to say that the
United States actually is interested
In Panama would be an under-statement.
Our relations with that
southern neighbor date from the
turn of the century when our gov-ernment
was "dickering" with Co-lombia
for the right to build the
Panama canal. In 1303 the Colom-bian
government refused to ratify
an agreement providing for the
sale of Panama to the United
States. Promptly American agita-tors
stirred up dissatisfaction
among the inhabitants of Panama,
and with the express promise of
American aid, the Panamanians
revolted. The American navy pro-tected
the insurgents from the Co-lombian
military forces, and pre-vented
the Colombian navy from
effecting a landing. Thus the revo-lution
was speedily concluded and
the United States was able to ac-quire
the canal zone from the new-ly
created "independent" state of
Panama. Evidently the United
States has been quite interested in
the Republic of Panama.
Because of American interfer-ence,
Panama has not had an in-dependent
foreign policy since its

The Soul of An Institution
Thi: ideals of our institution have been officially stated as follows:
"North Park College maintains the principle that there can be no
true education apart from the Christian philosophy of life.
"The college comes to its educational task with a definitely relig-ious
perspective. The preservation of social, moral, and religious
values and their adjustment to the ever-changing pattern of a progres-sive
social order are objectives of its program. It seeks standards for the
development of desirable character in its students.
"In its specific task as an institution essentially on the level of
secondary education, the school interprets its function as mainly that of
teaching. Its accepted aim is to develop in the student a love for thor-oughness
in scholarship and an eager and critical welcome for truth
wherever discovered.
"It is the ideal of the college to foster high principles of student life
and conduct by trying to awaken in the students themselves a sense of
responsibility."
The opinion of the NEA's is that students who seek thoroughly to
identify themselves with these ideals are the ones who will derive the
most benefit from their years at North Park.

Noon Hour Plan
Provides Sport
For Academy
Under the direction of Mr. Les
Harman. the 12:10 lunch period is
offering recreational activities to
the students. Weather permitting,
outdoor games, including football
and baseball, are played. Motion
pictures are shown in the Chapel.
Students who care for educational
or travel films, enjoy these. The
best moving pictures obtainable are
secured from rental bureaus such
as the Y. M. C. A., Bell and Howell,
and other organizations.
As everyone knows autumn is
here, and with it, the spirit of foot-ball.
Those who aren't aware of
the fact, should come around to the
east side of the gym and watch the
future "Tom Harmons" of the
football world. Even members of
the fair sex are seen kicking the
pigskin around.
Those who like ice-skating, will
be interested to know that it may
be possible to have the field on the
east side of the gym flooded this
winter. Any further suggestions
from the students will be welcomed
by Mr. Harman.
Mr. Oscar E. Olson has offered
the use of a room in the Music Con-servatory
for any students who are
Interested in short concerts during
the lunch hour.
SENIORS AND JUNIORS
ARRANGE LUNCHTIME
BY SPLITTING PERIOD
New arrangements have been
made for the 12:10 lunch period as
follows: All underclassmen. Fresh-men,
Sophomores, and Juniors, are
to eat from 12:10 to 12:35. Then
the lunchroom is to be turned over
to the Seniors.
The lunchroom has resembled a
sort of "mad -house," and it is
hoped that these new arrangements
will eliminate many difficulties.
A little fuss has been made over
these plans. The reason is that
Senior "tummies" can't take it. So
—they have disregarded orders
somewhat.
Aha! A "catch" is on its way. If
the Seniors don't co-operate, they'll
find a brief study period, 12:10 to
12:35, added to their curriculum
and marked "compulsory."
The NEWS is sure that all will
adhere to the new ruling, because
if there's anything that appeals to
a person—it's definitely NOT a
compulsory study!
Note to the underclassmen!! As
long as the last period is reserved
for Seniors—hurry along and get
out of the lunchroom then. The
Seniors are shut out from your
lunch period, and turnabout is only
FAIR PLAY!
Society Awards Pins;
Dean Moberg Speaks
The National Honor Society mem-bers
were awarded their member-ship
pins in the Student Council
Assembly last Monday.
Mr. Walter J. Moberg, Dean of
the Academy and College, gave a
charge to the eighteen honor stu-dents.
Ruth Thompson responded
for the members. Doris Burgh, stu-dent
chairman, and Lois Piske,
gave the audience a summary of
the Society's activities. Mr. Clif-ford
G. Ericson presented the
awards.
Femmes Frolics
The squad leaders held a meeting
at which Miss Olander gave in-structions
in the taking of attend-ance.
It was suggested that three
squad leaders get together with six
other girls and form a team. If
you have any desire to be on a
team, report to the gym next
Thursday at four o'clock.
We are happy to announce that
the bowling classes were a great
success. There was a grand turn-out
and the students seemed great-ly
interested. We hope this enthus-iasm
will continue so that some day
it may be possible to have bowling
tournaments for all who have par-ticipated.
The life-saving cla.sses are in full
swing and at five o'clock North
Park's glamour girls may be seen
emerging from the pool dripping
and drooping from two hours of
side stroking, crawling, and breast
stroking. (Maybe we should men-tion
dog-paddling?)
A new set of archery equipment
arrived last Monday. The girls are
preparing to compete with Robin
Hood.
The G. A. A. meeting on Mon-day.
October 20, was a great suc-cess.
Results will be announced
later.
ODE TO THE PHYSICS LAB
I slink into the Physics lab,
And sit down in my seat,
And slide away down and hide my
face
And gaze upon my feet.
The teacher asks a question,
But I never say a word
To think that I should know it ...
The idea's most absurd!
And at the rate I'm going
My brain will give out soon.
Insane asylums don't teach Phy
sics,
Surely that's a boon!
The day that you take Physics,
Is a day that you will rue.
But you'll find out too late be-cause
Then you'll be crazy too.

The next time you are about to
walk out on someone you might
try this variation of an old saying
to put across what you mean: "The
sooner I never see your face again
the better for both of us when next

Hi cupids! Cuddle up and lend
me your ears whilst I chant the
latest looker-room capers.
Although Thurston Lind has given
up his red socks, he has acquired
a pair of beautiful long white ones
covering his number 12 gunboats.
Watch out girls, Harvey Lesson is
planning to spend tus money on
you this week. It seems that
"Harv" is going to follow Miss Lar-son's
advice to the fullest extent.
Master James Meyer is the cause
of many a Freshie's heart beating
faster in the 10:20 study. It seems
that "Little Jimmy" is flitting from
from femme to femme trying I ?1 to
help them with their homework.
Your reporter's spies have just
uncovered some choice moisels of
gossip.
Fred Malcolm Johnson has es-corted
a pretty Miss from Lin-colnwood
to more than one social
gathering. Watch out girls—you're
going to lose this handsome senior!
Ray Baenziger seems to be one of
our best up and coming ball play-ers.
Ray's shots need a little
smoothing but his ball handling
and all around play are greatly im-proved
over last year.
Don Nelson is still playing his
superlative game at guard. Don
looks as if he has improved a great
deal in both his offensive and de-fensive
play.
Ralph Decker is playing a de-cidedly
offensive game. Although
Ralph still takes some wild shots
he does put some in once in a
while.
Byron Fanselow certainly has his
"eye" this year. Byron has been
plunking them in right and left.
Keep up the good work!
Well, lads and lassies. that's about
all the news or excitement we have
for you now, so we'll say so-long
till next we meet!

Mothers Enjoy Tea:
Program Pleases
The Tea for Academy mothers
was held last Thursday from three
to five in the afternoon. The
Academy choir, led by Mr. Oscar
Olson, sang four selections, "God
Is My Shepherd." "Teach Me to
Pray, Oh Lord," "Morning," and
"Bless This Home." Dr. Eldon
Strandine introduced President Al-goth
Olson and Professor Peter
Person who welcomed the mothers
to the tea and asked them to co-operate
with the faculty in the pro-gram
for the coming year. After
the formalities, the students pre-sented
their mothers to the faculty
and partook of the refreshments.
Now that the Cupola salesmen
have been appointed, Chapel seats
assigned, and the freshmen are rid
of that blank look, we can really
feel that life at N. P is getting in
the groove—or is it a rut?

A History of North
Park College
"A History of North Park Col-lege"
by Leland H. Carlson ha;
recently been placed on th
bookstands. The author ha,
woven into the book a detailed
story of the interesting develop-ment
of the Covenant school.
North Park College. Naturally,
the school's history reflects the
greater story of the denomina-tion
which sponsors it, since all
of the leaders of the Covenant
have more or less influenced it;
educational work. The book is,
therefore, a history of both the
Mission Covenant and North
Park College. Every alumnus,
and former or present student
of North Park College should
have a copy. The price is $2.00.

Halverson, Bodin,
To Head Freshmen
Amidst a rather wild turmoil of
excitement, the Freshmen of North
Park College held their first class
meeting of the year last Monday.
Th occasion was the election of
class officers. The election was pur-posely
put off until the sixth week
of school so that all the new fresh-men
would have time to get ac-quainted.
Even so, when the time
came, the class decided to stand by
a well known campus figure of last
year's Academy graduating class.
They gave strong vent to their
feelings by voting in the ever popu-lar
Kenny Halverson as president
by a landslide. However in the race
for vice-presidency, the fight was
much closer. In the end Bud Bodin,
who hails from Rockford. emerged
the smiling victor. As yet there has
been no election of secretary or
treasurer.

VIKINGS VICTORIOUS OVER L. P. On
Touchdown Pass Spells 6-0
Blue-Gold Defeat at Wilson
tlefttre a small crowd on a rainy,
dark day, the North Park Vikings
were halted in their '41 victory
march by a powerful Wilson eleven,
6-0. The Wilson line outweighed the
North Park forward wall by nearly
2'. pounds, and so adopted a wear-ing-
down strategy, biding their
time until the right opportunity
presented itself, and then striking.
But even after giving away so much
poundage. the Norsemen threat-ened
constantly to score with their
driving ground game.
The 'Parkers took the kickoff to
their own 35, on a dazzling return
by Bobby Watts. Watts drove for
three. Stromberg for five, after
which Benziger out through an
off-tackle slant to the Crimson 31
yard line. Capt. Stromberg again
pounded. this time for six. Watts
hit for another first down, which
Stromberg backed with a plunge to
the thirteen. But this was as far
as they could travel, for on the
next play. Paul Lindwall was
thrown back to the 27, when a
desperate Wilson line pushed
through to nail him before he could
pass the oval. A looping toss by
Stromberg was intercepted to end
the threat. From there an ex-change
of punts placed the ball in
Blue and Gold hands on their own
47. In four more plays the pigskin
rested on the Wilson 20. placed
there by the Watts, Stromberg,
Benziger combination. But a fum-ble
halted them as the quarter
wound up. Up to this point the
North Park squad had shown a
definite superiority, both in rush-ing,
and in defensive work.
Another exchange of punts
opened the second period, Wilson
having a trifle of the advantage
there. Lindwall intercepted a bul-let-
like toss on his own 31, to put a
temporary end to any Crimson
scoring ideas. But the boys were
stubborn, and soon the South Si-ders
were on the march again.
Razzle-dazzle football, combining
passes and spinner plays. soon
found them knocking at the goal
line door, with a first down to
crash the gates. Four plays later
they were on the defensive as the
stubborn North Park squad kicked
out safely to the 45 stripe. A Wil-son
pass completed to the 37. and
finally a long toss which had six
points written all over it, spelled
defeat for the Norsemen as it sailed
over the safetyman's head, and in-to

The sad, sad story, could be con-tinued.
Passes filled the air,
thrown by a Negro back, who
seemed right at home out there.
The only reason that more weren't
completed was that the ends could
not keep up with them. North Park
defense could not cope with the
situation. Seldom was a Blue jer-seyed
player near the potentail re-ceiver.
So it becomes safe to as-sume
that the Blue and Gold could
use some drills in a pass-defense.
However, the blackness could be
dissipated somewhat by the bril-liance
of our own ground game.

and only an alert secondary was
their salvation.
The Vikings have proved, even in
defeat, that they are a team, a
good team. With half of their
schedule left to play, they still can
take the conference title. So don't
lose any sleep over the matter, they
will take care of themselves.

The Vikings have at last avenged
themselves for the defeat handed
them last year by LaSalle-Peru!
Outrunning, outpassing, and out-fighting
the downstate boys, the
'Parkers rolled to a 13-0 victory
over a squad which presented little
opposition to the Blue and Gold.
Connie Pappas' sterling center play
featured the attack. Incidentally,
he's the boy that set up both North
Park scores with intercepted passes.
The North Park kickoff was re-turned
to the L. P. 29 yard line
where the downstaters put it into
play. One first down was all they
could muster, and a tremendous
punt set the 'Parkers back on their
heels. Paul Lindwall saved the day
with a dazzling thirty yard return.
but was nailed on the N. P. 40. The
typical first quarter action was a
see-saw battle, fought almost en-tirely
between the thirty yard
stripes, so no threats developed.
First Score
The Norsemen continued their
tradition of the first quarter, stop-ping
the L. P. scoring attack, but
carrying on none of their own, un-til
midway in the second period.
At that point, they received a punt
on their own 47, and continued on
down to the opposition 26. There,
an offside penalty, and quite a bit
of bad luck, stopped them tempo-rarily.
Watts and Stromberg had
been carrying the brunt of the at-tack,
abetted by the usual good
work of Jim Broman, now fully
recovered from an injury sustained
the previous week.
LaSalle came back into the
third period with a grand rush, led

was then that Pappas took a hand.
After a series of punt exchanges,
L. P. was deep in their own terri-tory,
and in desperation, elected
to pass. Somehow Pappas got in
the way, grabbed the pigskin, and
loped to the L. P. 35 yard line be-fore
he was stopped. Watts and

it was first down, and four to go,
